Book Review - Islamic law

[Re.TiReD]

:salamext:

Hmm, I've never had to write a book review before.

Any tips?

Any books on Islamic Law you think would be good to review?

Any mistakes I shouldnt make?

Has anybody read 'The Legal Status of following a Madhab' by Mufti Taqi Usmani?

I'm thinking of doing my review on that one.

Hmm, Danke very much

Try this one: click me

It's pretty good on the whole but could go into greater detail on some parts. (like, it doesn't tell you about the jury process or the court procedings. But it does inform you of what is legal and illegal under Islam and the punishments, conditions and exemptions etc). It has a chapter or so on the madhabs aswell

Have you read this Akhee?

This masterful work of Professor Doi continues

^ Is it an Orientalist perspective?

JazakAllah khayr btw.

Edit: Ahh, BarakAllah feek for that. The part its missing would have been interesting actually.

I dont have to talk/read up on the madhabs, its pretty vast so... Up to moi I guess

Erm, nope lol. Is it available on ebay? I've only actually read that one book on sharia law (the one I linked to) - I couldn't find any others on ebay and googling doesn't exactly provide me with reputable information (I might aswell have put "anti-islamic websites" in the search bar!)

Its this:

But I was actually asking if you had read the book you gave the link to, but then realised that you must have for you to recommend it to me :hiding:

I flicked through this today, it looks to be quite interesting masha'Allah, JazakAllah khayr once again for reccomending it akhee. Is quite extensive though.

choose a book you can be engrossed in IMHO (in my honest opinion)
one of my favorite volume type books is Miskat Ul Masabih

its amazing and comprehensive and covers every part of life !

 

[Re.TiReD]

^^ Akhee, is it basically just ahadeeth and the commentaries, thats it?

Atm I'm just deciding between the one I originally chose (Which is fab) and the one that the bro above ^^ reccomended.

 

[IbnAbdulHakim]

^^ Akhee, is it basically just ahadeeth and the commentaries, thats it?.

yes but the commentary is from an amazing, amazing, amazing scholar...

 

[Re.TiReD]

yes but the commentary is from an amazing, amazing, amazing scholar...

So it has ahadeeth on Islamic Law too?

Because....I think I'd need summin much more comprehensive than ahadeeth

 

[IbnAbdulHakim]

^ hmm it is MAINLY ahadith

basically the first few pages are commentary, then its pure ahadith with footnotes as commentary.


perhaps your best sticking to a scholars work sis. allahu a'lam
